This invention relates to a machine for filling casings or envelopes of cushions with down, and has for one of its objects to provide a machine of this character through the medium of which the casings or envelopes may be filled easily and quickly and Without loss of down and which shall be simple and durable and capable of being operated at a small cost.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the nature of which will become apparent as the descriptlon proceeds, the in-. vention consists of the construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, and. illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing, where- 1n:

Figure 1 is a view partly in plan and partly in horizontal section of the machine, and a Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the vertical plane indicated by'the line 22 of Figure 1.

The machine comprises a blower which consists of a casing 2 and any impeller 3.

The casing 2 is of sectional formation, and the sections 2 and 2 thereof are similar and secured together by bolts 4 passing through tion 2. The casing section 2 is provided with an outwardly extending collar 9 which surrounds the intake port 6. The casing section 2* is provided with a downwardly directed cylindrical flange 10 the purpose of which will be presently set forth,and with legs 11 which are adapted to support'the blower in a horizontal position. a The impeller 3 comprises a disk 12 and blades 13. The blades extend axially from the disk 12, and are arranged at an angle of sixty degrees to the radius or axis thereof. The disk 12 is provided with a conical cen- 60 tral portion 14' which extends therefrom in the direction of the extension of the blades 13. i

The impeller 3 is rotated through themedium of an electric motor of the universal type. The stator 15 of the motor has one end thereof positioned in the flange 10. The

impeller 3 is fixed to the armature or rotor shaft of the motor. A cap 16 is applied to the outer end of the stator 15, and is provided with a bearing 17 for therotor or armature shaft of the motor. The cap 16 carries the motor brushes 18, and is provided with a grease cup 19. The motor is secured in place on the casing 2 by bolts 20 which engage bosses 21 on the flange 10 and bosses ll 22 on the cap 16.

In practice, the machine is sup orted by the legs 11 upon a table 23 with t e blower in a horizontal position and spaced sufficiently above the table to permit a. casing or envelope 24 to rest upon the table and be connected to the spout 7, a flexible tube or hose 25 which is connected atone end to the collar 9 has its other end positioned in the supply bag which is located near the table, and thereafter the motor is set in operation. The impeller 3 draws the down from the supply bag and forces it into the casing or enve ope, fillin the casing or envelo e 24 in a compar ative y short time and witli The casing or envelope 24 is closed except for a small opening for the reception of the dis charge spout 7 and the flared end 8 of the latter, it being held on. the spout by two clips 26 which are adapted to prevent the enlargement of the spout receiving opening thereof. The casing or envelope 24 becomes taut immediately after the machine is in peration, and grips against the outer sides the spout end 8 in a manner to'prevent its ecoming casually enlarged and to prevent the down from blowing out during the filling 1 operation. The casing 2 is fixed to the table 23 by screws 27 which pass through the table and enter screw threaded sockets 28 in the lower ends of the legs 11, and the table is provided with an opening 29 for the reception ofthe motor which extends below the legs. i

It should be understood that the drawing. is merely illustrative and does not pretend to give exact proportions. Furthermore:i

the said drawing is illustrative of a preferre construction, it being my expectation that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention.

What is claimed is 1. A machine for filling cushion envelopes, comprisinga' blower, means for supporting, 110 the blower in a horizontal position upon a table, the blower being provided in its top out loss of down. .0

10 I 2. A machine for filling cushion envelopes, J

with the intake of comprising a blower provided itstop side withun intake and at its lateral side with a discharge spout, legs connected to the bottom side of the blower and provided in their lower ends with screw threaded sockets, and a flexible tube connected to the top side of the blower and communicating with the intake thereof.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
